Thanks for all your work. I do not think I have ever posted to a site where I have gotten so much help as I have this. Charles Hansen did provide me with some answers some time back and he found the obit for Clarence Ray Willis in the Spokesman Review 10-13-1973 pg. 20. Clarence was the father of Glayds. Her brother Albert Ray Willis ended up in Lompoc,California after serving a stint in the military. Glady's mother was Florence Edna Newingham. The 1930 census you mentioned is my Gladys. Her father was born in Kansas and her mother born in Illinois. In Clarence's obit it states Ruth Foust, Cheney, Washington , 10 grandchildren and 29 great. One day I called Albert's son, named William . He was not too friendly but did say Galdys had a passel of kids, so 9 children sounds like a passel to me. Thanks for all you have done to help. It certainly gives me hope that one day I will find out who the children are and perhaps I will be able to connect to at least one of them. Thanks again and God Bless You and Yours Jeanette Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
